It sounds like a jumble of course but i feel contra is definitely the hardest woodwind instrument.

I love it. ❤

One can tell you a great player, the cat hung around.

this is beautiful

You are absolutely amazing.

These are two fine musicians who show that differet generations of instruments can blend and have comperable sound quality.

I always forget how metal contrabassoon is lmao

Love

whatthe,hell thisis awsome

Cor blimey. Amazing :)

First! Wonderful extremes of range

Wow Amazing!!!!

Bravo, i keep coming back to your interpretation ❤

These sell for like 100k!!!

Thank you for reminding the people that this instrument doesn’t sound like a fart

This sounds like the theme of a cockroach chasing me across a hallway

Es increíble que en ciertos pasajes el sonido suene idéntico al de un violoncello

WHERE can I find this sheet music/arrangement?! The childhood nostalgia is FLOWING!!! Great performance!!!

I liked the second best.😊

Awesome stuff!

To my ears: Heckel is more open. Clearer tone. Bell is darker, a bit more resistant but somewhat more mellow. In MIgnone and Tchaikovsky I liked Bell the most. Everything else Heckel. But, same category of instrument IMO.

Wonderful contrabassoon tone.👏

Interesting to see how the pitch bends slightly from one note to the other in slow motion.

Tried to do this many years ago for my senior recital. We weren't this good. Beautiful to hear it done properly!

Where did you put the pickup? I can see a Beggs preamp but no pickup. Maybe a Little Jake? Anyway, the Kronwalt rocks!

The cleanest destorted Sound ever

Nice, Andy Bernard

This is metal!!!

Yeah, that's pretty badass.

Now this is legendary!

How much does a Contrabassoon cost? And for one that plays in tune? :-))

Interesting timbre, took me a while to like it, but you sold me on the cool virtuosic etudes in this caprice. Great playing.

This is the best sounding contra I’ve ever heard.

Is the Tenoroon just the upper portion of the Bassoon? And is there an Altoroon? Please say yes 😂

これはコントラフォルテですね。素晴らしい演奏です。

Love this! ❤ The bassoon, and saxaphone (I use to play it, myself) have such gorgeous guttural, bellowing sound that I also love hearing in the double bass and bass viola da gamba, tuba and lute-harpsichord.

And cute cat to boot 😊😊😊😊

Love the arrangement. Love the performance. Impressive thumb work. Love the space. Nice room!

😮

Amazing atonishing 😂❤😅😊

Dude somehow this guy manages to make it sound like a double bass on the low notes! That takes some serious dedication and work, nicely done!

truly amazing, expert handling of a very unique intrument ! mind telling us a little about it?

😍😍

Bravo bravissimo A fabulous surprise🎶👏🎵👏

I'm lucky enough to come across such a great performance 😊

Have we just found the ling ling of contrabassoon?

Next video: Dualing Banjos with a contrabassoon-playing friend!

"hey hooman... cuddles please- oh dang, you're recording? Aight my bad my bad..."

I love your take on this, but I am curious: Have you ever listened to a violinist play this? Your interpretation of timing and phrasing is just so different from anything else I’ve heard! As a flutist and violinist I’ve heard many many interpretations so I’m curious! No hate intended I’m just wondering where you drew your inspiration. :)
